Cuthbert Simpson was the butler and general servant to George and Elizabeth Wallace in Banquo Manor.
Biography
Simpson's had his own quarters; they were located under the stairs. He resented visitors from coming in. The room was well organised with everything in neat piles. When Richard Harries arrived to perform his experiments at the manor, all the staff apart from Simpson and the maid, Beryl Green, were dismissed.
Simpson was present at Harries experiment. Harries was killed when his headset overloaded; Simpson helped retrieve the body when it fell into the fiery wreckage of the machine. He was interviewed by Inspector Ian Stratford and his colleague, Sergeant Baker; they were treating the death as murder.
Simpson informed Ian that he had seen Dr. Friedlander and his associate, Fitz Kreiner, near Harries' lab in the conservatory, shortly before his death.
Simpson and Beryl found the body of Harries' returned to its former place in the master bedroom. It had been missing for some time after it was stolen. Simpson left Beryl to recover from the shock while he went to tell Stratford. On their return, Beryl was found dead.
Simpson fetched the manor's shotgun for Stratford after the murder of George and Elizabeth. (EDA: The Banquo Legacy)
Personality
Most thought Simpson to be constantly smug. John Hopkinson considered his voice to have a constant condescending tone. He faithfully served George, attending to his problems and helping him out.
Although he maintained a normal tone of voice, Simpson was greatly upset at the death of Beryl. (DW: The Banquo Legacy)
